edit: whoa...didn't check the date on that thread :
Not sure if this helps, but this is what I have in my .Xdefaults (it's actually ikaro's config)...so instead of starting aterm with aterm -tr -tn, I just type aterm, and get a nice blue and transparent terminal. (just change the configs around to match your font and window size).
Code:
term*cursorColor: SteelBlue
aterm*colorMode: true
aterm*borderwidth: 0
aterm*pointerColor: SteelBlue
aterm*tinting: rgb:5c/78/a3
aterm*transparent:true
aterm*shading: 70
aterm*background: black
aterm*foreground: rbg:d2/cd/c1
aterm*scrollBar:false
aterm*fading: 85
aterm*saveLines:4500
aterm*geometry: 105x29
aterm*truetintingType: True
aterm*textType: and Reverse
aterm*loginShell: True
aterm*scrollKeypress: true
aterm*boldFont: "-*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-13-120-75-75-c-70-iso10646-*"
aterm*font: "-misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1"
aterm*font1: "-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-2"
aterm*font2: "-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-2"
